Very good stuff. I really like the Big Board. I'm looking forward to seeing the WR board because I think the 4th wr on LSU is the most debate of any recruiting position.
Also, how would you rank the LA QBs right now?

Sonnny, do you feel like our QB this year is going to be from OOS?

Short of injury or the unexpected, we will have 3 QBs fighting for the starting job in the spring of '14. There is always the chance that the guy who is #3 coming out of that battle leaves for greener pastures but I'd hope all would stay even if not #1. Rivers to finish his career as either the starter or veteran backup and both freshmen as young guys with the future ahead of them. Point being the guy we may sign in '14 will almost definitely redshirt.

It's Brandon Harris then Donovan Isom followed by Quentin Gibson and Glenn Cuillette.
For now I have
Harris rated an 89
Isom 85-86
Gibson 83
Cuillette 81

Brandon Harris has a shot but if its not him it will come from out of state unless Isom continues to make marked improvement.

I got a chance to watch Patrick Mahomes play last season against powerhouse Tyler John Tyler High and he was outstanding! He threw for over 400 yards and 4 TD's. He's listed as a pro-style QB, but he's very athletic with plenty of escapabilty and mobility. He should be a guy to keep an eye on.

Sonny, so do you think we only sign 1 QB this year?

I'm already on record in saying that we should lock up Harris as soon as possible. I think his recruiting will explode if he shows well this spring and summer.

In a year when you're only signing one, you have to consider the pro baseball angle here. It's a bit early to tell just how highly though of Mahomes is as a pro baseball prospect. But seeing as his Dad was in the Majors, I'd think the younger Mahomes would be more apt to sign out of high school.

Yea, 1 unless they take another one who is an athlete that projects to play another position.

Wow!!!! Les Miles Camp will be very very interesting. I might be taking my son again this year. I saw you there last year but figured you were busy. I really would love to watch the QB battle.

You're right that he's a baseball prospect, but a good friend of mine (who broadcasts Mahomes' ballgames on the radio) says that Mahomes is more interested in playing football and baseball in college. But, your point is certainly valid.

Sonny wasn't there talk of Bolden transferring? Is that still likely to happen?

Thanks for the heads up, bengal.

Geauxlden,
You and I are of like minds. I really like Harris. With some improvement, he could develop nicely into a dual threat guy.

Great job! Looking forward to seeing WRs and D line. Are these going to be daily or once a week? Thank you.

I said this when we recruited Zach Lee and I'll say it again: I don't want a QB that also plays baseball. QB is hard enough to play in the SEC without splitting attention between two sports.

Will run another position Monday and shoot to have them all knocked out by the following week.
Glad you liked it and its going to be a fun one to track over the course of the next year
